AMONG STABfl.. : ^Arthur t. Mayer, the theatre (Continued on Page 8)
We our publishing a letter received by Dr. and Mrsi E. J. Gordon from Harry Eckstein who many will remember was brought here from Germany thru the efforts of the Council of Jewish Women. Eckstein made an outstanding record as a student at East High School and also won scholarship to Harvard. He has been serving with General McArthur's head¬ quarters. The letter reads as follows:
Dear Dr. and Mrs. Gordon
As you can see from the heading of this letter, I've made what will probably be .my last lap on the long Journ ey—"Frisco, to BrisbapflfTO To kyo, and my last station before I -Jan board the boat that will tm,ally carry me back to the U. S. MacArthur's entire head¬ quarters has moved from the Customs House In Yokohama to the Daiichl Sogo Insurance building which is probably the most magnificently modern structure in this metropolis, and right'across the moat from the Imperial Palace and the change has been all to the good so far. I knew of course that Tokyo was in certain spots just as modern as any city in Amer¬ ica or Europe, but I never ex¬ pected to find anything so ul¬ tra modernistic as the building which now houses our head¬ quarters, and doubt if there are ten which can compare with It in the United States. Even the Windows are opened by the simple expedient of pushing a button; one travels on noiseless elevators which are exquisitely furnished, washes in mirrored and marbled toilets, eats in huge dining halls one of which is to be found on every floor, and in general enjoys all the conveniences which modern ar¬ chitecture can Invent.
For those of us' who have only recently graduated from the jungle, the change was real¬ ly something to write home about; During the first evening we behaved like a band of sav¬ ages who have suddenly been shipwrecked o n Manhattan, pushing every button we could find, riding the elevi)tors up and down, and so on ad infini tum, until even the emotion less Japanese who watched us were amused by it all. Perhaps it is just as well that this in¬ troduction to rfiodem comforts took place In/Japan because If we bad behiived Uke that in San Frand^o, we woiild prob¬ ably have been stamped as psychoneurotics and perhaps juatlHediy so. At any rate, as long as I must still serve over¬ seas for a little while, I couldn't possibly choose a better place to serve in and naturally the discomforts of living in the midst of a wilderness or the worst destruction mankind has seen, will not have to be re¬ peated.
But if my new office (and Mac Arthur's too) la something to be enthusiastic about then the assignment which I've been given is really breathtaking. It's a young man's dream "come true and I couldn't have imag¬ ined a better aaslgnroent for myself even in my more optl- (Contlnued on Page 8)
